Warriors adopt no-excuses mentality after last season's struggles
Summary

The Golden State Warriors, led by Stephen Curry, have implemented a no-excuses approach following a disappointing 37-45 season. Team sources attribute last year's failures to a negative mindset regarding injuries and scheduling. Despite starting the current campaign with three losses, the Warriors secured their first win against the Denver Nuggets, aided by rookie Yaxel Lendeborg's standout performance. The team continues to deal with Kristaps Porzingis's ongoing absence, pushing Draymond Green into a larger role. Head coach Steve Kerr emphasizes the positive attitude of the younger players as vital for competing in the Western Conference.
